Chavez, Ahmadenijad, and little Kim are not really into de-escalation are they? Conflict and provocation are almost a way of life for them, just like Castro, Mao, Krushchev and Stalin before them.
One of these days this eternal game of international brinksmanship is going to blow up in our collective faces, literally.

It will be most likely related to medical isotopes that Iran needed for which they increased the processing of Uranium upto 20%. That's just my guess.

Iran's "allies around the globe" would retaliate against any strike by the United States, an influential cleric said Friday ahead of a speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the progress of Iran's nuclear project

Iran set to unveil 3rd generation centrifuges today. Said to be 10 times as powerful as first generation.

The new machines are capable of much faster enrichment than those now being used in Iran's nuclear facilities, and Iranian officials praised it as a step toward greater self-sufficiency in the face of international sanctions targeted at choking off the nuclear work.

Because the US/the West has never done anything of the kind to promote aggression or imperialist policies. You just don't see the States invading nations for oil or backing cruel regimes (remember Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war where we sold him biological weapons that he used against the defencless Kurds?). Seriously, there is no high horse and no one has moral authority anymore.
Sorry to go off topic but ignorant posts should be addressed.

I'm just curious...
What will your stance be when they come out and state they have the "Bomb" It seems to me that many here support Iran's defiance of the west. Which is a good thing to a certain point, but at what point does it become a case of simple denial of their intentions?[edit on 9-4-2010 by SLAYER69]

Ofcourse, I do believe Iran should have a nuclear weapon which will balance the M.E region. Either the region should be completely nuclear free which is not possible any longer thus the only alternative left is MAD. In comparison between both, I trust Iran more than Israel any given day.
